This is another from the same session as the herons on Sunday. This one took off behind me to warn another cob that he felt was sailing a bit too close to his lady and I just had time to swing round to capture it. The sun was behind him which threw the water black.

Nice capture Lawrence, especially in light of it being a 'snatch' image - very nice

Got any more space underneath? that's adecent reflection and it would make a nice abstract if it was all there.
Fine shot anyway. Eric
Afraid not Eric. Cropped a little off the top to enhance the composition but bottom is bottom. I would have loved to have had a bit more but hey .... cest la vie!

Hi Robert,
Fantastic shot. As Eric said, a little more on the bottom would improve it, but it's a great photo as it is
